HIS walk Ended.

A Wabash, Indiana, dispatch of the
9th instant says: John Owen Snyder,
known all over the United States as the
"Indiana Walking Man." died Monday
in Hartford city at his home. Snyder.s
case was pronounced by physicians to
be the most remarkable on record. He
was crazy on but one subject and that
was walking, and at times he was per
fectly rational. About two years ago he
imagined he had to walk and after com
mencing could not stop. He ate and
drank and shaved while walking, not
stopping for either rain or snow. He
walked day and night and would cry ont
in pain when his friends tried to stop
him. They concluded to let him have
his own way, and for almost two years
Snyder continued his tireless, endless
tramp. It is estimated that he has
walked a distance of more than equal to
twice the circuit of the globe. - ,
at fret the accounts of the perpetual
walker were generally considered hoaxes
of the same kind as the stories, which
appeared about The, same time. of the
sudden petrifeation of blasphamers.
They have been well authenticated, how
lever, snd'an autopsy may expl lin their
cause. &E2 4Ets

Favors the District ,rilt,ia.

Washington, July, 5-There is some
disposition on the part of the represen-
tatives OF certain of the smaller states to
find fault with the action OF the presi-
dent in giving to the District OF Column
bia out of the present military fund
double the sum that is allowed to those
states and to the territories. It was
left to the president by the act OF Feb.
III to designate the amounts which the
territories and District of Columbia
should receive out of the money appro-
priated, and he regulated the matter by
allowing the territories each
the same amount as received
by the states having the least
representation in congress. TO the
District OF Columbia he gave double
this amount. Up to this time the dis-
trict has had no organized militia, and
it is only by the most herculsan efforts
that since the national drill ON orgsniza.
ticn has been partially effected 30 that
this money could be used. To cap this
fayoritism, the president to-day made 10 !,
detail OF regular army officer to act as
adiutant general on the staff OF the citi-
zen brigadier. First Lieut., Bigelow, of
the teath cavalry, is to come from Arizo-
ma to do this work. Such a detail has
been refused to the various states.

The presidents mugwump, civil Ser.
vice reform supporters are said to be
dissatisfied with his removal OF the last
republican collector of the New York
district. The appointment was Tam
many choice. The New York Times
unburdens itself as follows:
The appointment of Assemblyman
Giegerich as collector of internal rev.
enue for the second district is not TO be
commended. 1t is purely political
appointment. No change was deter
mined in any way or in any degree by
the interests of the service. There was
no good reason why Mr.. Friedsaw should
not be continued in the office. The only
motive for displaoing him is political
one, and it Will be said this is as iustifi.
able IN this instance as In the Others
where changes have been made. This is
trne, but in this case not only is the sp-
pointment political but it is very poor
one. GeIderich is simply Tammany
politician, by no means of the highest
type even in that order. i

Ii the telegraphio statement from Salt
Lake City is correctly rendered the Nor,
mons who compose the Utah conatitn-
tional convention propose themselves
to abolish the institution OF polygamy
by provision in their state constitution.
They further propose that this consti-
4tutional provision shall become op-
peratirs without legislation and
that it shall never be repealed without
the consent of congress and the presi.
dent. 10 render still more effective the
penalties attached to violation OF this
constitutional provision its Mormon
antbora specify that the president OF the
United States alone shall possess power
TO pardon persons convicted Of offences
against it and the penalty is made o
heavy fine and an extended term OF
Imprisonment. There can be nothing
but the utmost good faith in this act
OF the Mormon state makers of Utah.
They openly propose to themselves
abolish and set aside an evil against
which the nation outside has SO long and
80 Intellectually contended. They pro-
pose to do this In return for the privi--
leges of self government to which popu-
lation, wealth and internal development
entitle them. 1t these Mormons are
correctly quoted the general government
can do no better than accept their con-
stitution and at onoe admit Utah to a
place in the union. Unfortunately Da-
kota is not in g position to make 40
marked concession in return for its
venerable right to govern itself. Its
social and moral life has been one of
purity and in its political career it mas
followed the narrow pathway OF extreme
unotion. 1t has no sins to confess and
no reformation to trade for star in the
national azure. Still it wonld like to
see Utah take a seat alongside the states
under this proposition, for the sake OF
the precedent suoh an act would create.

1t is said that Mr.. Cleveland has
emerged from the delicate reserve which
has encompassed him like profound
mystery since be became president
and is now shouting foT second term.
He shouts the more yooiferonsiy be-.
cause OF the long silence which has
thoroughly rested his voice, and his
utteranees are heard clear across the
state OF New York. 1t has been con-
cluded to send solid Cleveland dele
CATION from New York to the democratic
convention and this conclusion renders
the president more courageous and
audacious. Having rounded up the
state of New York and branded 1t with
his brand he is openly preparing tour
.of the solid south IN the fall, unattended
by Dan Lamont. This is the first time
when it happens) the president has left
Dan at home during his long and weari-
some tramps among his constituents.
The act is indicative Of confidence and
courage. He will fell upon the neck OF
the solid south and explain why those
battle flags were not returned and the
solid south will open its arms and for
give him. New York has already over
looked the incident Then with the
solid south and it's New York contingent
he will go into the convention and sar-
castically ask the little northwest what
1t is going to do about it. His policy
against the northwest has been one full
Of grievious burdens, but the northwest
viii be borne down by the confederate
legions and when it rises from the duet
of humiliation it will be with,a hurrah
for Cleveland and q tiger for Sparks.
All the wretched past will be forgotten
and the northwest will fall into line and
become again the tail Of the New York
and solid south combination. Having
arranged all these preliminsries Cleve-
land courageously announces himself
for 9 second term.
